British Boxing Legend Adviced Anthony Joshua To Retire Before Serious Health Damage Is Done
Carl Froch hasn’t had the best relationship with Anthony Joshua in recent years.
The former super middleweight world champion has often criticised the British heavyweight publicly and shared plenty of heated messages privately, particularly since ‘AJ’ left Froch’s former coach Rob McCracken
Right now Joshua is without a belt and coming off a damaging knockout defeat to Daniel Dubois.
He is a former two-time world champion in his mid-thirties with only a few fights left at the top level. He has also lost to Andy Ruiz J, although he avenged that one, and was twice on the wrong end of a points decision when he took on Oleksandr Usyk.
Speaking to Fightlens, Froch assessed where Joshua is at right now.
“I’m just honest and I tell the truth and Anthony Joshua has had a good career, a fantastic career, based on the level of his ability.
“He’s been ironed out a few times and that last whopping he took against Daniel Dubois looked hurtful, particularly damaging to his health. You can have as much money as you want in the bank, but your health is more important, you can’t put a price on your health.”

He then suggested he is finished and should hang up his gloves.
“The way he got knocked out looked like he’d been tasered. Hurt in round one, ironed out in round five. Why is he fighting? Since losing to Ruiz, back-to-back defeats to Usyk, then he fought Wallin, Ngannou, Helenius, he’s not had any competition.
“The minute somebody turns up with some ambition, which is Dubois, he didn’t want to know. Now the best thing he can do is retire.”
Anthony Joshua himself has a different view and has vowed to fight on, with the latest suggestions being that he could well return this summer for a blockbuster rematch with Dubois.
